I led David on to believe that we were keeping it local for a dinner date, but I actually came home about 10 a.m. with my mom on her way shortly thereafter to pick up Nico. (David had previously asked if she could watch Nico while he play hockey that day, but I had her lie to him and say that she wasn't available until our plans at 4 p.m.) When she rang the doorbell, he was totally confused. I told him that we had a day date planned, and he admitted later to thinking it was Top Golf or some downtown stops. When I turned west onto highway 290 and then also turned into the Dripping Springs downtown area, he was even more confused. I let the cat out of the bag then, and I gave him some papers there in a parking lot, which had details of our San Antonio hotel and some other fun stops that we could go to! He was pretty excited. We had never been out together in San Antonio!
He "forced" me to go see the Alamo, so we could say that we did something historically important (and didn't just come down here to drink!)
We toured around and landed at a spot right on the riverwalk for some brunch.
There was only one small part of the trip that wasn't perfect. I had intended on us catching a romantic ferry boat to head north to the Pearl Brewery district, but we ended up walking too far and missed the area where we were to catch the boat. This resulted in calling a cab due to my new, cheap sandals just killing my feet and knowing that I couldn't complete the rest of the walk up there. So lame, I know.
Pearl Brewery district was really cool. It's a trendy area with various bars and restaurants that is known for elaborate, chef prepared meals and fancy drinks. We stopped in a couple different bars there and actually spent a majority of our afternoon watching some of the women's college world series! So typical, right? We were glad that we did since the ULL game went into extra innings and was an intense one!
I had dinner reservations at a 5 star Italian restaurant, Il Sogno Osteria, that I knew would be right up David's alley. Major points for me. Dinner was awesome and so filling that we actually couldn't even order a main course once the time came!
We hopped in a cab back to our hotel area and with plans of going to a dueling piano bar. Little did we know that we would stay there nearly 4 hours, singing the night away!
We had an awesome day. Not sure how this man has put up with me for 6 years (plus another 3 prior to getting married), but he deserves an award for this. Love you, David.
